OctoberBlues posted:Well it's been five minutes and no help. All episodes with Jack Cassidy are fantastic. He and Falk had a great chemistry in all of them. edit: Just saw you didn't like it. Maybe you should keep watching. It gets quite intense when Cassidy and Falk have screen time together.

I watched Any Port in a Storm and it was some good poo poo. Columbo seems to have a degree of empathy for Donald Pleasance's character that's unique to that episode.

One time I saw a guy selling paintings of kittens dressed as famous television characters and I saw one in a beige raincoat w/ a hosed up red tie. I was like "Hell yes. Colombo kitten." and the guy was like "oh thats Arazazareidel the angel from Supernatural." I vomited right there, over all his stuff and I screamed at him as long and hard as I could until he ran away.

My gf had never seen Columbo and I hadn't watched an episode since I was a kid. I suggested we watch S1E1 on Netflix tonight. She loved it. And it was just as much fun as I remember. Thanks for making this thread. Also, those people who say they don't like it: It must really suck to be you.

Netflix doesn't have the first two "episodes" which were actually movies. When you watch the first of the two movies (Prescription: Murder) it is pretty apparent that the screenplay was adapted from a theatrical stage play (which it was). (The second movie or "pilot" is Ransom for a Dead Man.) When Falk makes his entrance in Prescription: Murder it's actually kind of shocking to see how young he looks.

An Exercise in Fatality is the best one because he gets reverse trolled, but it's only good if you've seen a lot of other ones first.

i just watched the one with twins, and it was hilarious how this fussy old housekeeper with ocd was constantly in a state of seething rage at columbo's usual antics. she was never even a suspect, but he kept dropping things, breaking appliances, etc.

How much of the 80s - 2003 revival is good? I haven't got to that point yet. I know about it, and doubt it's bad. But is Old Man Lt. Columbo worth it?

Ork of Fiction posted:On the subway today, a man came up to me to sell me paintings of kittens dressed as famous television characters. He made small talk, a lonely man talking about the weather and other things. I tried to be pleasant and accommodating and saw one with a beige raincoat with a hosed up red tie and was like "Hell yes. Columbo kitten", but he said "oh thats Arazazareidel the angel from Supernatural" and my head hurt from his banality. I almost didn't notice it had happened, but I suddenly threw up all over him, over all his stuff. He was not pleased, and I couldn't stop laughing.

Neurolimal posted:and just like columbo nothing spergtective forces out would ever hold up in a courtroom with a half-dece lawyer brylcreem posted:Do you know why Columbo never was promoted above Lieutenant? armchair DAs who have no idea about poo poo lmao if you walk into a police station and confess to a murder they're not going to be like 'well poo poo we didn't read you your rights first guess you're free to go...' You only need to be mirandized if you being questioned in a formal setting and you definitely don't need to be mirandized to answer the kinds of basic questions Columbo asks 95% of the time.

Those guys are all rich so they will probably go for sweetheart plea deals, especially since many of them are unlikable pricks that the jury will hate.

I can see how some of these lame young millenials wouldn't like Columbo. There are long shots without much action. In other words, they have to think and pay attention. Can't do that while tweeting your junk to other idiots.
